When it comes to the writing process, it becomes cumbersome and discouraging. Having to write about something I have no desires to write about is very taxing to say the least. I happen to enjoy the research aspect of the process, only because I love to learn new things. Surprisingly writing has never been my thing, until I learned of its power. Academic writing is not something I fancy, however I do enjoy writing poetry. When I was younger and had more time, I dabbled in poetry. Poetry for me is freeing and therapeutic, because I am able to speak my mind and release any frustrations.
